Call of the Wild

Can anyone believe it's already November? Well, since it is the first day of November, we at Crafts Galore Encore have a new challenge starting and our theme is "Anything Goes." We're sponsored by the Fantasy Art of Nikki Burdette and she has some delightfully superb stamps! This one is called "Wolf" and I think it's spectacular. It reminds me of something right out of the book "Call of the Wild."

I left off the horizontal strip because it just made my particular card

look way too busy. Maybe it was the fancy die cut frame I used.

Or maybe I just already had more than enough layers.

I colored the image with my ProMarkers and added the snowflakes to it with a white gel pen. I cut it with a simple square die from Spellbinders and then punched the corners with a Fiskars punch. The dark blue frame is also cut with a Spellbinders die.

I used one of my Snowflake embossing folders to do the wide, vertical strip in the middle and the background is glittered CS. I added snowflake embellies and one snowflake button and called it finished. Notice that I reversed the position of three snowflakes from the upper corner to the lower left corner and I used the button in place of the sentiment, also reversed in position. The whole design is really sparkly IRL but it just doesn't show up in the photo.

I hope we're going to see you playing along this month. Afterall, it's an "Anything Goes" theme and you have practically all of November (depending on when you see this post :-D ) to create something to enter. See you there. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Such gorgeously bright colors, Connie, and beautifully shaded and colored! I love your snowflake theme, and the gently falling snow on your image. Perhaps I misread your post, but could not see how you made the snow on your image? The sentiment is perfect (as always) for your gorgeous card, Connie! hugs, de

Yes, call of the wild. I'm ready for just a little snow and then give me Spring. I love blue these days so your card was very calming. I think I used that exact snow element on my card I will be posting tomorrow morning.
